Sappy but intriguing

Lt. Col. Paul W. Tibbets, 509th Composite Group CO (Robert Taylor). Must make the decision, and alone. He must buck the tendency to placate previous commanding generals and family, including his wife Lucey (Eleanor Parker). Can he do it? Could you? We must seek our souls together. We must watch each and every supposed detail. It may not be accurate, but it is watchable. By the way, occasionally a bomb shows up. Warning, this can be a tearjerker for people who are prone to domestic bliss. This is a black and white film made less than a decade after the event. Look closely as Gen. Curtis E. LeMay is played by Jim Backus. Oh, wait, there is also James Whitmore.
